I've decided to build a gaming pc and these are the parts I have come up with after lots of research. I want to know if all the parts are compatible and if any are over/under powered.

Thanks!

Instead of the 500W PSU, I upgraded to the Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply feel free to recommend another power supply if you want.

The 660 only uses about 150W, the 450W is recommended for the entire system. I still might upgrade the PSU though.

The PSU is perfectly fine even for a dual GPU set-up in Crossfire or SLi. The thing I would ask is why are you looking at outdated GPUs? The 660 is obsolete and you should be looking at either a 750Ti or a GTX760 if you can afford it. Then there are the equivalent AMD GPUs to look at too. I think you need to have a think and start again with an idea of what your total budget is.

The 760 brings up my price $80 for a little improvement and the 750Ti isn't a good as the 660. I don't plan on playing games that are GPU demanding like Battlefield 4, Crysis 3, and Titanfall and I also don't mind playing on medium/high even though I prefer ultra/high. (I also like that my budget is around $750)

Factory overclocked 750 Ti's actually beat the 660 and are also perfectly adequate for med/high settings in gaming, res depending. I play Skyrim for example with the HD mods and everything is maxed out on 1920x1080.
There is also the option for an AMD 265 which is about the same price but performs a little better... I still think they are the better options than the 660 but that is my opinion.

Thanks,I'll keep that in mind, but I also want to know if my parts are all compatible with each other.
